Bethenny Frankel Still Hates Newark’s Most “Garbouj” Lounge And George Santos Refuses To Fly Coach [Roundup]

News and notes from around the interweb:

  • Three years ago Bethenny Frankel reviewed the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse Newark and declared it “Garbouj”. The critique by the Real Housewives and Shark Tank star and Point.me investor went viral.


    She was flying La Compagnie from Newark to Paris and returned to that lounge, now dubbed Lounge&Co, and she still doesn’t like it – enough that she left, and critiques the understaffed restaurant by the gate.

  • George Santos turns down a TV deal because they won’t fly him in business class.

  • These guests won’t be signing up for the new Wyndham credit cards from Barclays.

  • Stop using your Diamond status as an excuse to be rude to employees! Just an excuse to re-share this classic:

  • United is so good at delivering real live million miler recognition.

  1. Bethenny Frankel? Man it has got to be a really slow news day if you are going to post anything from that attention seeking person. A pity the soul that is married to her.

  2. Far be it from me to defend Santos (and I certainly am not privy to how these things work), but I think their unwillingness to do better than Y is a sign you are dealing with well-funded folks.
